The flag of Greenland was designed by Greenland native Thue Christiansen. The white stripe represents the glaciers and ice cap, which cover more than 80% of the island; the red stripe, the ocean; the red semicircle, the sun, with its bottom part sunk in the ocean; and the white semicircle, the icebergs and pack ice. The design is also reminiscent of the setting sun half-submerged below the horizon and reflected on the sea. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Greenland)
